Circulating exosomes with lung self-antigens as a biomarker for chronic lung allograft dysfunction: A retrospective analysis

Exosomes isolated from plasma of lung transplant recipients (LTxRs) with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) contain human leukocyte antigens and lung self-antigens (SAgs), K-alpha 1 Tubulin (K α1T) and Collagen-V (Col-V). The aim was to determine the use of circulating exosomes with lung SAgs as a biomarker for BOS.
